"The vocalism consistently stood out as superior...Domingo at 65 remains a phenomenon...His junior colleagues never lapsed vocally below their wonted high levels" (MusicalAmerica.com)
On July 7, the Waldbühne amphitheatre in Berlin was host to "the greatest voices of their day" (Die Welt am Sonntag) as more than 20,000 spectators gathered to hear Anna Netrebko, Rolando Villazón, and Plácido Domingo in an open-air concert celebrating the close of the World Cup tournament.
Deutsche Grammophon is bringing this extraordinary event - described by the Berliner Morgenpost as "the stuff of myth" - to Blu Ray disc
This Blu Ray disc features the three mega-stars performing music by Verdi, Puccini, Lehár, and many other beloved melodies
This live broadcast had an international audience of more than 8 million viewers in Germany, Austria, Norway, France, Italy, Mexico, India and South America, generating waves of enthusiastic acclaim in the international press - considered as the biggest live classical broadcast event since The Three Tenors
